As well as super fast delivery, we pride ourselves on our reliable, efficient service, from enquiry through to during rental and collection.

As our main HVAC Rentals depot is based within Henley-On-Thames, we are able to deliver a rental plate heat exchanger to and around London within just hours. This means if you require an emergency rental PHE or heat exchanger hire due to a breakdown on your existing we can help get back and running quickly and efficiently. We also offer same day delivery of rental heat exchangers to Southampton, Cambridge, Oxford, Brighton, Essex, Berkshire as well as most of the UK.

Not sure which rental heat exchanger for hire you need?

After a quick initial assessment, we can help ensure the correct plate heat exchanger hire for your use and application. Our team of HVAC hire experts are also invested in ensuring the best approach to getting your HVAC system running effectively. This means we can also help with any other pieces of crucial equipment and ancillary hire needed in conjunction with an efficient rental PHE, such as a high pressure hose or mechanical spool(s).

Benefits of a Plate Heat Exchanger and a Heat Exchanger rental

Plate heat exchangers (PHEs) offer several advantages over conventional heat exchangers. In conclusion to the below points, they offer higher heat transfer efficiency, and can be much quicker, cost-effective and efficient to install as well as run.

Furthermore, with rental heat exchangers you have no large capital costs, and mitigate any maintenance costs or downtime caused by cleaning or maintaining a PHE. For example here at HVAC Rentals, we pressure test, clean and safety check a rental PHE prior to delivery or installation. Choosing to hire a plate heat exchanger can also allow for a much easier approach to dealing with changes in capacity requirements.

We also understand that some applications may require heat exchanger hire for when they are carrying out maintenance on their own. Alternatively, an emergency PHE hire may be necessary if experiencing an existing plate heat exchanger failure (which is usually caused by lack of maintenance or error of use). This is why at HVAC Rentals we hold stock of a diverse range of rental heat exchangers, so we can help quickly and efficiently.

There are many benefits to Plate Heat Exchangers (PHE) and PHE Hire which includes....

Higher Heat Transfer Efficiency

As a plate heat exchanger consists of thin plates with large surface areas depending on their size, this maximises the heat transfer between fluids. The corrugated design of PHE’s makes them well known for their high thermal performance. The corrugation of thin plates promotes turbulence, which further enhances heat transfer. Due to the proximity of the plates and fluids this also allows for a closer temperature approach. This means they can achieve the desired temperature with less energy.

Compact and Lightweight

PHEs are much more compact than conventional heat exchangers, the design also results in a lighter unit. This makes them ideal for a diverse range of installations, including where space is limited. Which aids to heat exchanger hire being cost effective and quick to implement.

Easy capacity adjustments and flow arrangements

Due to the design of a gasket plate heat exchanger (GPHE), it is possible to modify the capacity by the addition or removal of plates. It also means cleaning and maintenance can easily be carried out on the GPHE when needed. At HVAC Rentals we stock a range of rental gasket plate heat exchangers so we can ensure the correct GPHE hire for the pressure and temperature and capacity.

We clean and maintain our rental gasket plate heat exchangers regularly, ensuring easy maintenance throughout a rental period. We also ensure the gasket plate heat exchanger is correct for use and application before each rental period, so they can easily be installed and fit for purpose.

Reliable and Safe

The design of a GPHE allows for easy detection of leaks, which is a very rare occurrence, but makes maintenance simpler and safer. Our HVAC Rentals plate heat exchangers for hire are tested before and after each rental period to ensure complete reliability. This is another benefit of heat exchanger rental, as pressure tests and health checks is not only costly but also causes downtime.

Eliminates cross contamination

A plate heat exchanger ensures that fluids are kept completely separate, entering, within and exiting the PHE via the correct inlet/outlet. This makes them ideal for industries like food processing and pharmaceuticals.

What is a Plate heat exchanger (PHE)?

A plate heat exchanger is a device used to transfer thermal energy from one fluid to another. Both fluids are kept completely separate, and are never mixed or meet each other. The type of fluids used within the plate heat exchanger will depend on the use and application, but it could be water, refrigerant, oil, steam, beverage, gas etc. It is also common for the fluids to be different to each other. Such as in a food processing plant they may use chilled water to cool down newly manufactured hot beverage product.

For the heat transfer to work it is important though the temperature of each fluid is different to each other, and heat always flows from hot to cold. Plate heat exchangers are environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and highly efficient.

There are different types of plate heat exchangers, including gasket plate heat exchangers and brazed plate heat exchangers. As brazed plate heat exchangers are completely sealed, gasket plate heat exchangers can be preferable for their versatility and ease of maintenance. The versatility of GPHEs makes them ideal for a wide range of applications, including a plate heat exchanger needed for district heating or cooling, or when a PHE is needed for industrial, or for use within a range of HVAC systems.
